LSL at Crewe have had Class 47 D1944 Craftsman out on what is believed to have been route learning on 22nd June 2020. The loco had come from Crewe to Hellifield in the morning. It then did a return trip to Skipton followed by a return trip to Preston. It is seen on the final run of the day from Hellifield to Preston, crossing the WCML at Farington. Further runs were planned for each day this week with the loco returning to Crewe on Friday, however the loco ran back to Crewe on Thursday afternoon rather than to Preston.
